of usefulness for horse there is only
three years. The market decides what it
wants by the price il is willing to pay.
That decision is in favor of the heavy
draft horse-the heavier the better. 1t is
the business of the farmer not to attempt
to dictate to city men what kind of a
horse they want, but to raise the quality
they ask for and then charge them
roundly for the privilege of being choos

Helena Happenings
Rev. n. N. Kinard preached here
last Sunday afternoon. His sermon is
spoken of very highly.
Helena can boast Of pretty girl who
blows the harmonica with sweet touch
of her rosy lips. ''Blow, gentle winds"
The Helena High School will have its
first exhibition on Friday night of next
week. The exercises will be held in the
church building.
Two fair daughters of Helena got left
in Columbia by the excursion train
but they Jared all right, being among
relatives and friends.
Miss Mary Mccoy Of Columbia, ac-
companied by her little neice, Sallie To-
bel. paid her old Helena home visit
last week, the guest Of Mrs. VIM. Zobel.
Several lovely and charming young
ladies' Of Newberry were in the village
this week. Although we have good
supply Of this fine material, we always
welcome more. When beauty meets
beauty then comes the tug of warm
discussion.
Quite number Of the villagers went
to Columbia on the excursion last Fri
day, and got caught in hard shower
just as they jumped from the train on
their return. The way they scattered
through the grove was caution to all
prospective excursionists.
Mr.. J. n. Bowers has caught up the
spirit OF improvement that has spread to
and over the village, and he has added
to the good looks Of his premises by the
substitution of a new fence for the old
one along the line Of ''Lane's avenue" :"
Bowers retreat IS shady and cool, sit
uated as it is in an oak grove.
